NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A

MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

Copeland Creek Trail to Crane Creek Regional Park Project

A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND) for the following project has been prepared through the Planning Division of the City of Rohnert Park pursuant to the guidelines and procedures for implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  The Copeland Creek Trail to Crane Creek Regional Park project (proposed project) comprises segments of a paved, multi-use trail facility that connects the eastern end of the Copeland Creek Trail on the Sonoma State University campus located on the west side of Petaluma Hill Road to Crane Creek Regional Park. The proposed project includes designs for a new crosswalk and traffic signal at the intersection of Petaluma Hill Road and Laurel Drive on the Sonoma State University campus. A new paved multi-use trail would connect the east end of the crosswalk at Petaluma Hill Road to an existing water tank access road, which would include designing and constructing a pedestrian/bicyclist bridge crossing Copeland Creek. The proposed project would also provide a multi-use, Class 1 trail from the eastern end of the water tank access road connecting to Crane Creek Regional Park along with a single-track hikers-only trail that would provide access to the top of a knoll on the project site.

PROJECT LOCATION: The proposed trail would be located in Sonoma County, constructed on land owned by the City of Rohnert Park (APN 047-132-038) located on the east side of Petaluma Hill Road across from Sonoma State University. The crosswalk would be constructed on Petaluma Hill Road adjacent to the east of Sonoma State University.
